Stealing is not "legit"

This is a delicate issue. While it's true that it's illegal in Germany and probably other countries too, it always depends on what you're stealing and where from.
I always try to act morally and ethically correct for instance.
So if you steal say Cars or weapons from a server that just ported them from another gamethat's not theirs it'd be ethically Ok to steal, but legally you'd both be in trouble if the original creator would sue. But the respective life community couldn't sue you since it wasn't theirs before anyways. With self-written code it's another story. If it's under some kind of DCMA you shouldn't steal it - they could afford the DMCA, they can offord to sue you too and for unprotected code it wouldn't be ethically OK. You'd be better off just asking around if someone would be generous enough to give you some assets or code. Nopixel probably won't but there are smaller communities with experienced devs too.
For private use however, you can't get caugt and as long as you don't publish it, everything's fine.
Just ask yourself if you really just want a rip-off of another community's server.
